Leshrac the Tormented Soul is a ranged intelligence hero who is known for his ability to put out tremendous amounts of area magical damage. His array of spells makes him a dangerous foe to stand around, as he can disable and nuke down anyone who dares to stand against him. Split Earth is an area stun that, after a delay, will stun all enemies in its radius while dealing damage. Diabolic Edict is a damage-over-time spell that deals physical damage, corroding all enemies near Leshrac. Unlike most other spells, it can also affect buildings, making Leshrac a very powerful tower killer who can push very effectively. Lightning Storm is a targeted nuke that damages and slows enemies as it jumps from foe to foe, easily clearing away creeps. His ultimate, Pulse Nova, deals magical damage in an area around Leshrac while it is active, making short work of nearby enemies. Few can withstand Leshrac's damage output, as all of his spells combined allow him to scour his foes from the battlefield.

Bio

Leshrac minimap iconLeshrac, the Tormented Soul
▶️ "Imbalance demands it."
Leshrac, Tormented Soul, is an entity torn from the heart of nature, a liminal being that exists half in one plane of existence, half in another. His penetrating intelligence is such that he can never ignore for a moment the agonizing horror at the heart of all creation. Once a great philosopher who sought the meaning of existence, he plumbed the depths of nature with the haunted Chronoptic Crystals, and was forever altered by the hideous mysteries thereby revealed to him. Now the darkest depths of his enlightenment are illumined only by the fitful glare of his arrogance. Like other elemental characters, he is completely at one with nature, but in his case it is a nature lurid and vile. He alone sees the evil truth of reality, and has no use for those who believe the cosmos reserves a special reward for those who practice benevolence.

Gameplay

Leshrac's pushing power is notable. Four levels of Diabolic Edict will nearly destroy a tower with one cast of the spell and is the main source of Leshrac's early-mid game power - every time the enemy team is weakened, he can destroy or cripple a tower to win his team map control and gold.

Ability builds for Leshrac vary greatly depending on the situation. Generally, maxing Lightning Storm is smart if the enemy has many short range burst damage abilities since Lightning Storm has relatively long range. With proper timing, Leshrac can hit multiple creeps while damaging enemy heroes; it is a great ability for lane control. Diabolic Edict is maxed for pushing, roaming, and/or ganking. Aside from taking towers, it is also a great ability for killing isolated heroes. With solo lane experience, Leshrac can take on and kill almost any enemy hero that tries to fight him one on one early in the game with Diabolic Edict. Even as a support, Leshrac's Edict can deal significant damage to an isolated enemy. Pulse Nova has a high mana cost but is sustainable if Arcane boots are purchased as Leshrac reaches level 6. Pulse Nova is extremely powerful but requires Leshrac to stay in close proximity to deal damage; it is wise to consider maxing Leshrac's other abilities first if the enemy has many heroes that can quickly punish Leshrac for positioning himself too closely to them.

Item choices for Leshrac should help toughen him up, as well as expand his Mana Pool to fuel Pulse Nova; Blood Stone and Shiva's Guard both fulfill this role nicely. As with any Intelligence hero, Scythe of Vyse is an excellent item for Leshrac and will allow you to land your spells with impunity. Once he has sufficient mana regen and defense, an Octarine Core can give him massive sustain in drawn-out fights. An item to help you escape from danger is also recommended, such as Force Staff, Ghost Scepter, or Eul's Scepter of Divinity. Black King Bar allows Leshrac to wreak havoc on supporting enemy heroes since he is immune to magical burst damage and most stuns/disables when Black King Bar is activated. It is recommended to upgrade his Boots of Speed into Arcane Boots or Boots of Travel if the game is going well in Leshrac's favor.

Chronoptic energy bursts from one plane to the other, evaporating anything it touches.

  • The radius is always centered at Leshrac's current position, not at the cast location.
  • Randomly selects nearby valid units for each explosion. There are no priorities.
  • When no valid targets are nearby, the explosions randomly appear within a square with 500 side length. These random explosions deal no damage.
  • Creates explosions in 0.25 (Talent 0.11) second intervals, starting immediately as the spell is cast, resulting in 40 (Talent 90) explosions.
  • Buildings take 12.6/25.2/37.8/50.4 damage per explosion.
  • Can deal up to 360/720/1080/1440 (Talent 810/1620/2430/3240) damage to a single unit, or 504/1008/1512/2016 (Talent 1134/2268/3402/4536) damage to a single building (before reductions).

Lightning Storm Slow
The Tormented Soul's mastery of the elements is evident in the massive storms that strike down armies before him.

  • The lightning hits the initial target after the 0.25 second effect delay and then jumps to other targets in 0.25 second intervals, so hitting all targets takes 2/2.25/2.5/2.75 seconds.
  • Can never hit the same unit twice per cast.
  • The Lightning Storm buff is a hidden buff required for the lightning to jump.

Pulse Nova
Undispellable
If necessary, the Tormented Soul can manipulate space time itself, ravaging lesser beings.

  • The toggling of Pulse Nova is not registered as a spell cast and thus does not proc any on-cast effects.
  • Pulse Nova does not interrupt Leshrac's channeling spells upon toggling.
  • Deals damage in 1 second intervals, starting immediately upon toggling the spell on.
  • Drains mana in the same intervals, so activating it basically costs 90/130/170 mana.
  • However, when having less than 90/130/170 mana and toggling it on, it will still deal 1 damage instance and then toggle itself off.
  • When having Aghanim's Scepter icon Aghanim's Scepter, a single bolt of Lightning Storm icon Lightning Storm strikes a random unit within the given radius.
    • Once a strike happens, the effect has to recharge for 1.75 seconds. This recharge time cannot be altered.

Trivia

  • The name Leshrac comes from a Planeswalker from the Magic: the Gathering multiverse[1].
    • Diabolic Edict is the name of an iconic black card in that game; much like the Dota 2 spell, the Magic card was more effective when there were fewer targets, as your opponent got to choose which target got hit.
